Access control equipment

SecureMAX installed access control equipment can create a safer environment for your home and business to discourage theft. You can protect your business and monitor the movement of staff, customers and suppliers across one or multiple sites with access control equipment such as voice and video entry phones or pin-number and swipe-card operated locks.

You can control most standard types of internal/external electronic door releases and physical security devices such as barriers and turnstiles making full use of location points, whether in full view or hidden out of sight. Operated by contactless smart cards, key fobs or biometrics, a Tensor Access System gives you full control over who is allowed access through any controlled point at any time of any day, placing it at the forefront of security solutions.

Access Control Product Range:

Door Controllers

Card Readers

Biometric Readers

Gates, Barriers & Turnstiles

Door access control readers

You can ensure that only authorised personnel have access to your business with a complete range of PIN or proximity readers installed to your specifications. You can even choose to set tiered authority levels to restrict who is authorised to access certain parts of your building. For instance managers of a certain level could have full access to an office holding sensitive records, whilst other staff members would be denied access.

Door Controllers

Door Controllers provide distributed intelligence for the access control system, ensuring that the system still runs even in the event of local network or server issues. Paxton's Door Controllers are an up-to-date and totally flexible, offering high reliability, security and cost effective design solutions for any access control project.

PIN readers

PIN readers allow authorised entry by requiring the user to punch in a 4 or 6 digit code. The code can be changed as needed and depending on the type of commercial access control equipment installed can allow for simultaneous access for multiple PIN users.

Proximity / Card readers

Proximity readers allow you to control access to your business by requiring the user to use cards or tokens. Depending on the type of commercial access control equipment installed, the proximity reader can be integrated with different shift patterns by allowing authorised access within specified time frames or on particular days of the week.

Biometric Readers

These types of systems are becoming increasingly popular with businesses looking to secure their properties and increase efficiencies in operational procedures. As the technology becomes more advanced and more reliable, these systems offer a level of security and monitoring that no card or pin based system can match.

What are the benefits?

Biometric security utilises ‘something you have’, such as an eye or a fingerprint, ensuring that the information collected by the system could only be entered by one person. This offers you a certainty that card based systems cannot match.

Time & Attendance benefits: Increasingly businesses are using biometrics to replace existing card or paper based staff rotas. So for example, using an iris recognition based attendance system on a production floor not only speeds up staff check in, but completely eliminates the challenges associated with ‘buddy-punching’ or lost identity cards. This is an application that offers a genuine return in investment.

Iris and Facial Recognition technology: FTL Secure Solutions offer a range of high end iris and facial recognition solutions for your business. Typical applications include time & attendance on large construction sites, MOD and Government sites, commercial / industrial spaces and data centre security. Iris and facial recognition technology offers your business the most reliable and secure biometric security solution currently available.

Fingerprint and Palm technology: FTL Secure Solutions offer a range of fingerprint and palm reader solutions for your business. These solutions, typically, are more cost-effective than the iris equivalent and can be used in many of the same environments and applications.

Integration with your security and HR systems: Biometrics can become a vital component for your business. Our iris solutions are certified for Single Factor Authentication for both verification and Identification. By automatically inputting reliable information gained from your biometrics, you can benefit from a real return on investment through improved security and improved operational procedures.

Gate, Barriers & Tunrstiles

Designed to operate as stand-alone equipment or part of a security network, our range of barriers and turnstiles can be supplied with Smart Card technology enabling you to create a fully integrated Time and Attendance and Access Control system powerful and versatile enough to cope with the demands of today's security climate. All of our products are virtually 100% corrosion-free and designed to last the test of time.

Suitable for both large and small premises, our automatic barriers are highly adaptable, can work in any weather, giving maximum throughput to authorised personnel. Our barriers are supplied complete, ready to accept power and data connections, and will operate with access control and ticketing systems.

Standalone

A standalone solution where all of the control electronics are in the keypad or reader. Compact systems are an easy to administer and cost-effective means of controlling access to a building. However, as the control electronics are all housed in the reader or keypad this type of system is not recommended for exterior or high security interior doors. Compact systems are available in a choice of TOUCHLOCK keypads, PROXIMITY readers or CARDLOCK (magstripe) readers.

Access is gained by using a code or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a valid token to readers. Simple token management using our token packs makes administration straightforward.

Networked

Paxton Net2 is one of the most economical access control systems on the market. There are no hidden costs such as per seat licences; the software may be loaded on all the PC’s in a building if required. Net2 Lite software, which includes all the features most organisations will need, is free.

Perhaps even more importantly your investment is future proofed. Adding additional doors in your building as your needs change is straightforward and cost effective. In addition, all new innovations to the system are designed to be backward compatible. Software upgrades are free.

Net2 offers the key requirements of a PC based access control system.

Central control

Flexible access permissions

Reporting

The software gives you full control over the system from your desk. Any instructions given to the software are immediately updated at all the doors. Adding users, barring users and changing users’ access permissions are all done from the PC quickly and easily.

If your company has several buildings, access to all of them can still be controlled from one location. Net2 will control many buildings in different locations using TCP/IP across your existing network.

Access permissions may be set individually or by department. This makes setting up different permissions for different groups of people quick and straightforward. Some areas may be restricted to only a certain group of users. Shift patterns may be set for departments, and those permissions are allocated instantly when a new user card is issued.
